The Garden School Tattler


There's a vote in progress - Apparently, Miss Faith has entered her grandmother's house in the Evansville Courier house front contest for Christmas. It's house #36 outside. If you get a chance buzz over to the site at Contest

and vote - every day once.

The Zoo was magnificent yesterday. It was a glorious day - truly sweater weather. The sun was brilliant. We were greeted by some roaring, and I do mean roaring monkeys who were not pleased at all by our presence. I suppose they were into intimate activities and we were disruptive!

We walked through most of the zoo except where there is construction. The kids were in high spirits. Miss Emma and Miss Briana stayed back with me to pet some very sweet horses. I enjoyed the goat; the younger boys loved the tiger who was pacing and Mrs. St. Louis and Miss Hazel loved the otters. The lions have been moved and are in a temporary home and look squished, but soon they will have a new place. The Kookaburra was screaming and the kids were laughing at the raucous sound. We ran, we looked, we played, we had a lot of fun on the play center in the petting zoo.

Miss Mandy came as a volunteer and stayed to close with her sister Miss Kelly. We are grateful to young teachers like Miss Mandy for all their love and affection for us. It is a pleasure to have her with us.

We came home to pulled pork crock pot and sweet pull bread and fruit. Some of the kids asked for salad and milk. Home made cookies for snack.

Another beautiful day today! We'll extend those recesses and get the kids running.

Grilled cheese for lunch!
